Any opinions on adding a new category in libs/libraries.htm, Error Reporting, containing static_assert and the exception lib?
I have a small objection. Or maybe not-so-small. Assertions are for precondition violations -- they detect programming errors. Exceptions are for failure to satisfy postconditions. They're really very different. If we are going to group these things under a single category, I'd like it if the name were more clear about its scope. I have several ideas but none is definitively better... -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
